Welcome to First Grade!  I have been a teacher in the Yonkers Public School District for 28 years.  I have taught PreK, Kindergarten, First grade, and Fourth grade.  I have an undergraduate degree in elementary education and a master's in Early childhood education.  I am also Montessori trained.  I love teaching, it is my passion.  First grade is my favorite grade to teach!

There will be several ways that you can communicate with me.  

DOJO is the easiest and fastest way to get a response.  Please make sure that you sign up.

I can also be reached by my email smartinez@yonkerspublicschools.org

We are in person again!!! I am so excited to get my students back in class and learning:) 

We will continue to use Clever as well.  To log onto clever please use your child's ID Number for the username and their birthday (mm/dd/yyyy) for the password. Another way you can log on is by scanning the badge that I will send.
